Ya, we'll do all that
I’ve been listening to the air traffic control feeds courtesy of www.liveatc.net recently, and yesterday I discovered that they are now featuring Toronto frequencies.
In aviation, it is fairly common for the pilot to read back all (or at least the key parts) of an ATC instruction, and in some cases (such as hold shorts) it is mandatory. Today, while listening to Toronto ATC, a controller issued a somewhat long instruction covering an altitude to level off at, a turn and a speed adjustment. Instead of the typical read back followed by the aircraft’s callsign, I heard:
“Ya, we’ll do all that. United 123 Heavy.”
